Why Do I Give?

Why do I give to Linfield?

“Thirty years ago, I attended Linfield as a first-generation college student and that experience changed my life. My giving is motivated by a profound sense of gratitude but primarily because of my incredible students. I know that without additional resources, many of my students couldn't afford to attend, and that would be truly unfortunate.”

—Denise Farag ’88, Associate Professor of Business Law, Aassociate Dean for graduate programs and new initiative in the School of Business

“I give Linfield because I believe in Linfield. As an employee, coach and parent, I want to do all I can to contribute to the success of the university and the students.”

—Gina Regalado, Associate Director of Financial Aid IT Services, Spirit Director of Cheer, Dance & Mack the Wildcat, Hiad Dance Coach

“I have taught at Linfield for 25 years, and every year I have seen the positive difference the college makes in the lives of its students.  That is something I wish to support.”

—Jeff Summers, Emeritus Faculty, Professor and Department Chair of Economics

—Dawn Graff-Haight, Emeritus Faculty, Professor of Health Education
